Make sure you are referencing the correct drive identifiers for your internal hard drive and SSD. Use the following command to get the drive identifiers for the internal drives:

diskutil  list  internal  physical


If you are running an older version of macOS, then you may not be able to use the "physical" option.


If you still have issues, then post the results of my command plus a copy of the command you are using to create the Fusion Drive as well as the results.
